COP files environmental plan for Italian floating offshore wind

Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP) and Italian utility Eni have submitted the environmental impact assessment for a 504MW floating wind farm planned off Sardinia.

COP is leading development of the Ichnusa wind farm alongside GreenIT – a joint venture consisting of Eni’s renewable energy arm Plenitude (51%) and state-owned investor CDP Equity (49%).

Ichnusa is planned approximately 35km off the coast of Sardinia.

It is part of a 3GW pipeline of Italian offshore wind projects being developed by COP and GreenIT.
